To: marikoszk yes,it's fun to make,and eat this with a large group of people.In China,it's a traditional thing,especially new year time.I prefer more vegetable nowadays,this one with 2/3青梗菜(blanched and squeeze out liquid),and 1/3 pork .Please try sometime!
To: gardenia ,actually my favorite is with watercress(we call西洋菜),you should try too.I am sure you would like to make the skin from scratch too,I never tried, people insist they do....
Looks yummy! The wrapping technique is different from how my Mom does it, but I know it's the Cantonese way. We also make the filling in 薺菜豬肉. I LOVE 餛飩/雲吞 :D
To: MangoPudding yes ,I know,but I am just hopeless with the wrapping.This is 餃子皮,and it's not supposed to wrap like this(I'm sure your mom is right), but this is not what I asked for,
To: MangoPudding I wanted the thinner smoother 雲呑皮,and I went ahead to do it like a wonton anyway....really need more practice with the wrapping though...薺菜is good too,but hard to get good ones nowadays ....
To: rikk I got what you're saying about the skin and wrapping~ The chinese supermarkets sell frozen 薺菜 here :P The flavor doesn't come as strong as those wild ones though, but I guess better than nothing, right? >_*
To: MangoPudding ,absolutely!We are lucky enough to have fresh 薺菜,馬蘭頭,草頭,but just not as strong as the wild ones I used to have long time ago,but I still eat them,may be I really need to make a trip to Shanghai soon...
To: rikk Talking about 薺菜, my Mom makes 薺菜肉絲豆腐羹, very yummy :) I LOVE 酒香草頭! I can finish up the whole dish by myself!!! That's how crazy I'm with 草頭. Another veggie I like is 雞毛菜 :D
Yap,I will...see u on the flipside mate!
